Nestled within the historic grounds of a former country mansion, this two-bedroom semi-detached cottage offers a rare combination of period charm and countryside outlooks while remaining only a short walk from Brookmans Park village and mainline rail. The ground floor features an oak-floored entrance, an airy lounge/diner with glazed doors to the garden, and a kitchen/breakfast room with fitted units and direct garden access — a practical layout for everyday living and entertaining.
Upstairs provides two bedrooms with some eaves restriction, useful built-in storage and a well-appointed family bathroom with a skylight. The cottage benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing (installed before 2002) and off-street parking on a private driveway. Owners also have access to the mansion’s extensive grounds extending to approximately nine acres, plus private front and rear gardens backing southerly.
Practical points to note: the property sits on solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation and may benefit from upgraded thermal insulation; broadband speeds are very slow locally. There is a modest annual service charge of £500 for communal grounds maintenance and the property is in council tax band E (Welwyn and Hatfield). These factors should be weighed alongside the strong village location and countryside setting.
This cottage will suit buyers looking for characterful living near good transport links — particularly commuters who want a rural feel without giving up accessibility. It also offers scope for modest energy-efficiency improvements or cosmetic updating to personalise the interior while enjoying the unique setting and private outdoor space.
